"For many IT organizations, there's an immediate need to do something
about the mobile device security problem because like it or not, a new
wave of mobile devices is being connected to corporate networks, and
companies are looking to lock down these devices and control which apps
they can use," notes Jeff
Wilson, principal analyst for security at Infonetics
Research.

Wilson
continues: "We believe that SSLVPNs
will become a cornerstone of many enterprise mobile device security
strategies moving forward because they solve an immediate connection
security requirement, are familiar and easy to use, often free, and will
likely support additional security and control functions."
